Linda arrived at the boutique and found Lucia discussing with Saleswoman Mia. They noticed her presence and Lucia approached her, "I was just asking about you"She informed no one of her leaving, for no exact reason. She thought they wouldn't notice but they did. Seems she was pretty important and her absence would easily be noticed. Good to know that. Linda replied with a forced smile, "I um, moved down the street to um... I just wanted to walk" "Linda, are you doing good?" Lucia asked with a concerned look and she nodded, "Yeah. Totally. You got something for me? " "I was about to leave for the eatery across the street for lunch and I don't know if you desire to join me, you must be hungry" Lucia cocked her brows at Linda who wasn't hungry but she wanted to engage herself instead of seating bored, "Of course. I will" .. .. .. Luca was driving speedily through a tunnel at extreme speed overtaking the vehicles before him.This was the best path to take and not be arrested f
Karim packed his important gadgets and devices into his duffel bag quickly as he kept glancing at the footage on the screen to see Luca approaching Officer Daniel with his gun.This was his opportunity to escape before the dangerous man came for him.He once read the criminal files of the mafia underboss and it was nothing close to good.Luca Antonio was a monster in the flesh of a charming man.He thought the mafia man worked for the mayor who he also worked for.What had happened for him to attack officer D who gave him a message to deliver to the mayor? Karim was too scared to make a call right now. The bugged phone was still in range and he had to dispose it first.No, he wouldn't take it along. There was another signal which he is guessing to be that of a programmed tracker.It would lead the monster man straight to him.He raised his head to see the footage only to deliver it had gone blank and searching for a signal.Someone must have destroyed the camera. Who else would do t
Luca arrived at Classy Chic in his Rolls-Royce Phantom and scrutinize his face in the above mirror before him.He already checked his clothing and was sure there was no blood stain from the fight he just had.It wasn't exactly a fight if someone asked him.The men outside did not expect he would show up from a distance and take them out, and Officer Daniel was taken by complete surprise.They were no match for his stealth. A good reason the name 'Black Viper' fits him best.No blood stain, no injuries. He was looking good to meet and discuss with her.He was yet to believe Linda was working for Lucia now.How the hell did they meet?When the mayor mentions 'employee', Luca believed he was referring to the saleswoman's work because that was the only work he could think about.He had no idea she was employed as a model to display and advertise brands outfits.Luca got down from the vehicle and got to hear indistinctive chatters all around him.He turned to see passers-by staring and cam
First of all, he had to get back to Nica so his uncle would not begin stalking him. The mayor could call at any time to assign a mission to him for execution.Does that mean he would abandon the quest for Linda for the day?He knew her location now and would return to get her. She was not invisible to him anymore. Luca made to leave but paused and turned to the saleswoman, "Um, can you be silent about my coming here? Do not inform your boss or Linda that I came looking?" He raised his brows at her and she was confused because she was planning to tell them the billionaire CEO had come around. "I have a surprise for the two and would be messed up if they find out I was here today. I don't need to go into details. Help me keep quiet, will ya?"Mia nodded gently.The rich man of Thornhill had brought Linda cloth shopping the other time and the next day she shows up to work.What was going on between the two and what surprise was he talking about?She decides not to overthink it.Whate
Luca's vehicle passed through the open gate and came to stop at a designated space in front of the villa, and took a deep breath with his hands on the steering wheel.He felt bad leaving the boutique to come take care of his unwanted betrothed but there was no other option if he wanted his uncle and family as a whole to be out of his Thornhill business.The underboss should have figured out the spy in his house already but he didn't want to, yet.His uncle could install another. Might even be an old worker in the building.Just the right amount of money can twist and buy the heart of men.He would let the spy keep watching since it poses no threat to his life but needs to find out the identity of the mafia operator.An enemy known is half defeated already.Luca moved out of the rolls-Royce phantom and raised his head to the glass building with a deep sigh.He was really going to spend the night in this villa with the clingy head around.He was yet to think about why she made herself n
It was a warm evening at Thornhill and Linda was seated on the bonnet of Lucia's Ferrari 812 GTS with her hands resting behind her, and her red hair resting on both of her shoulders.She occasionally shut her eyes to inhale the evening breeze which felt satisfying to her nostril, and--She heard the clicking noise of a camera and immediately opened her eyes to a flashlight.Lucia was at the entrance now and had taken a picture of the model with her device."You got a good pose on the vehicle, could not resist taking a shot?" She told Linda and unlocked the doors of the vehicle for the both of them.Linda smiled and slides down from the bonnet.She found her way inside the car, beside Lucia and pushed her red hair behind her.Lucia starts the ignition of the vehicle and turned to her, "We won't be going to the salon today. We'll take a rain check and go tomorrow. A new batch of La flor fashion brand arrived this evening and so I had some accounting to do with Mia. It's a few minutes to
Nica's hand were still around Luca's waist and her head resting against his chest when the doorbell rang loudly causing him to turn. She was pissed at whoever had interrupted their moment. Nica wanted to remain in that position with him forever. "That should be Hannah," Luca told his betrothed and broke out of her embrace, leaving her to wear a frown on her face. He unlocked the door and just as predicted, It was Hannah. She said calmly "Dinner is ready, Boss, I perceived you would want it on this floor" "I'll be having dinner with the guest--" Luca paused and turned to Nica who was biting her nails in concealed anger, "What would you have for dinner?" She heard the discussion he was having with Hannah and responded, "Same thing as you" But, did she just hear the name, Hannah? Nica looked narrowly to see the maid she had fired earlier that day. Her eyeballs almost dropped. What the hell was she still doing at the villa? Does that mean she never left and they had zero respect
Luca's soul was engrossed in the mouth-watering french toast he took as breakfast that morning.All credit to Maid Hannah who Nica tried to send away the previous day.As funny as it could sound, Luca was capable of harming anyone who tried to remove Hannah from his villa, even Hannah herself dares not leave."Perfect or delicious... What's the word for it?" He mumbled and took the glass of water before him.His ears picked up footsteps and his head easily predicted they were Nica's.Luca pretended he didn't hear and resumed consuming his french toast when she appeared at the open door of the dining room in her white night robe that had flower paintings all over."Hey, you're here"Nica moved in and had her seat on one of the chairs.She had woken up to discover he wasn't with her on the bed and that got her worried and thinking.Did he let her sleep alone?She recalled them watching a series on Netflix last night in the living room after dinner and must have slept off since she doesn
Linda gulped in air with an innocent look on her face and continued, "I know I'll be mortal but I become invisible to Father. You tell him I'm dead and he'll believe, that's what it means when my energy cannot be traced""Are you crazy right now? You'll age and die as a human. You'll become weak and helpless" Zilda tried to control her voice but it was rising already."I know what I'm talking about" Linda assured her and she fired strongly, "No you don't, you want me to announce your death to Father? Are you serious right now?""I am. I want to be with him forever and you know it, read my heart and tell me I don't love him"Zilda's head dropped on hearing her sister and blinked her eyes."I know you love him, Sister, but that love would be the death of you both. If father finds out--"Linda cuts in sharply. "He won't. He trusts you. Don't tell him I was killed by humans because that would only motivate him to launch an Invasion. Tell him I took my energy orb out and killed myself, I j
Luca entered the elevator with Zilda and as the box went up, she mumbled. "I'm sorry about your Mother. I know I deserve to die just like Jacob. A bullet between my eyes and then my face is destroyed by bullets. I was the one who executed the job" "You talk about death when you cannot be killed" Luca finally decided to have the conversation regarding the murder of Nico.Zilda sighed and rubbed her temple. "You had the opportunity to kill me with the one thing that could kill us but you did not because of Linda. I understand you're in love with her" Linda grits his teeth and shook his head. "At first, it was because of Linda but then I realized there was more to my holding back. Don't believe I won't do it when I get the chance to" "You realized you're no different from me, a monster who has killed innocents. Mothers and Fathers" Out of rage, Luca gripped her neck to the wall of the elevator and stared dangerously into her eyes. "I'm nothing like you and the people I've killed are
Luca brought the BMW 7 Series to a stop and alighted with Zilda to meet the family's consigliere who was waiting with the Finest White gangsters behind him, still holding their weapons tightly."It's a hell of blood out there, Uncle" He clicked the door of the vehicle lock with the remote in his hands."The cops came around. We would have begun shooting but they just loaded the bodies into trucks and left. Someone must have reported the gunshots, yet they didn't do what cops do. Is there something you ain't telling me?" Danny asked with a suspicious look and he was right.The cops were supposed to call for backup, investigation, questioning, making arrests and typically everything the police should do but the deal with the president had helped to settle everything.A call from the president is enough to make them walk away without investigating further."I have contacts, Uncle" "Contacts? Contacts powerful enough to make the cops work for you. What am I missing? Boy" Danny knew his
It wasn't but surprising that the president could guess the receiver of his call. "You don't recognize my voice but I bet you believe I'm the only one who could come this far. I've been on your list, how wonderful to know""You're an international criminal, Mr Antonio. You--"Luca interrupts him rather sharply. "Don't bother mentioning my criminal counts, Mr President. You don't know them better than the one who committed them. Just as we know in the underground, you work with Mizzeti. They work for you and you work for them, the syndicate helped you climb to power but there is no evidence "" You know much, just like top contributors in the international um underground syndicate. May I ask how you have come into possession of this device? "" Let's say I have your boy, Jacob on his knees with a gun to his head. He called for help to deal with me so I believe you know what the fvck is going on " Luca's voice was calm as he rest his back against the wall with a big smirk on his face.
Nica gasped in shock when she heard this and turned her eyes to him. "What are you doing?""What should be done daughter" He responded coldly and drove the vehicle from the place speedily.Not long, the chopper on the hotel roof opposite Luca's villa hovered up and flew towards the building.It was approaching and begin letting out missiles when a bullet out of nowhere broke through the screen and hit the pilot on the head.The chopper went zigzag in the air and finally crashed at the side of the road, going aflame with smoke ascending into the atmosphere.The shooter was Matt who stayed hidden on the rooftop of the skyscraper behind the hotel, a good vantage where he would not be easily noticed by any.The building was officially bought and owned by Luca for fun and so, he never moved in for months until the use for it came today.He spoke calmly into the earpiece connected to his eyes. "You were right. The old man is trying to hit your place. I have one chopper down and another migh
Jacob Mizzeti brought his Audi A4 to rest in front of Luca's gate before bringing his phone to make a call to the consigliere of the family."I just got there. Do you still have eyes on me""Eyes on you, Boss. Our men are on standby for your order. Whenever you make the call"He exhaled and tapped slowly on the steering wheel. "She is my only daughter, Theo. No mistakes must be made. Once she is out, whatever happens, happens. Stick to the plan and make sure our men do too""Boss, are you sure about this?" Consigliere Theo demanded with a concerned voice and he responded almost immediately. "I'm old and have achieved two-thirds of my goals already. She is just a child""I promised Layla to get her back""We both know Luca Antonio wants your head, going to him is dangerous and you might not leave alive""The goal is not to walk out alive, Theo. Luca Antonio would not stop coming for us if we don't deal with it now and I believe the threats on my daughter are not fake. He is a monster a
Matt was awakened from his unconsciousness by the noise of the armed gangsters who marched towards the burning bungalow in a group.He rubbed his eyes dizzily and on seeing the scene, they cleared instantly and survival instincts kicked in.He rolled underneath the BMW 7 Series and tried to control his breathing.The last thing he remembers was getting hit by the red-haired lady who assaulted his boss and--That's typically everything he could recall. "Fvck!" He cursed silently and managed to pull his device from his pocket. Matt was about to try and call his boss when he heard the screaming of the gunmen. He crawled out of underneath to his feet and watched the flames from the building swerve in the direction of the armed men, setting them on fire. The others who tried to run from getting consumed were gunned down from behind and when he lifted his head, he saw Luca coming from behind the building with the three ladies behind him. "Get the fvcking car started! Matt" Matt quickl
Somewhere Else... Earlier... Jacob Mizzeti was awakened from his short nap by the ringtone of the device trapped inside the book he was reading before he fell asleep. He rubbed his eyes gently and retrieved the device from the take the call. "Secretary Theo. It's 7 pm. You should know I wouldn't want to be disturbed" Jacob sat properly on his swivel and ran his fingers over his dry grey hair with heavy eyes. "There's a problem, Boss," The caller told him and his brows furrowed at the words of the family's consigliere. "Something you can't handle and need my attention is surely a problem" He paused for a second and resumed speaking, "What is it this time? Are local gangsters jumping transports again? Take their heads, as usual, and send them a message" Jacob massaged his bearded face, waiting for a response. "It's something bigger than em' all. A fvcker you wouldn't want us to underestimate" The consigliere informed him and his face turned ugly at the instant. This is no good
"Yeah. Put her over there"Luca dropped Linda on the sofa and slowly pulled his arms from under her before turning to see Zilda who had a gun pointed at him."Don't even think of it, you won't get my gun" She smirked and turned to Lucia who still had no idea what was going on, "You, shut the door. We wouldn't want to invite the neighbours"She reluctantly shuts the door and joined them in the living room."I don't know who you are but--"Zilda shunned her with a rather dangerous glance. "Keep your pep talk to yourself""It's not a pep talk. I'm not encouraging whatever the fvck you're doing, Linda twin""Well then, shut the fvck up" She tilt the gun to Lucia who gasped in fear. "Let down the gun, Zil. You've shot me already, that's enough" Linda her hands at her sister and sighed with a heavy heart. Luca was concerned, he feared for Linda, more than her look-alike who had a gun on them. The wound in Linda's arm looked messy and he still wondered how the bullet had affected her. We
